The Rowan, also
know as
Mountain Ash, is a berry
forming deciduous tree.

Here is a young Rowan
photographed in 2003 planted
as a sapling in Winter 1991
contemporary with our
sequenced subject.

Typical growth is to form
clumps of flowers near the
ends of branches that develop
into 100 or so berries. The
birds love the berries which
are quickly eaten distributing
the seeds in their droppings.

Reality Note: The sequence
was photographed in 2006. The
berry clumps become very
heavy and the branches
generally sag downward as the
fruits develop. This effect has
been removed from the
sequence because it make it
difficult to follow.
